Luton is on the River Lea, about 32 miles (50 km) north-west of London. The town's foundation dates to the sixth century as a Saxon settlement on the river, from which Luton derives its name.

There are local museums which explore Luton's history in Wardown Park and Stockwood Park.
Luton was once known for hatmaking and became a centre for the British motor industry with the establishment of the Vauxhall Motors factory in 1905. Car production at the Luton plant continued until 2002. Thereafter, the site focused on commercial vehicle manufacturing which in turn came to an end in 2025.
